"You are correct - Kyle won't be eligible for the MLB draft until June of 2008. Why is he waiting for the June 2007 draft to decide between baseball and football? Probably because he wants to see where other similar prospects get drafted."
As a junior RHP with a fastball topping out at 92mph or so I really don't think he can get much of a read from a draft. As always with high school players, he is either a high-round pick or not. Nothing in the 07 draft will decide whether that is the case.
He won't be able to compare his measurables, etc to other players as he doesn't compare physically and his arm strength is above-average but not spectacular.
Perhaps he has some other solid pitches (I don't know). Although he has good upside with his height, he must have another good pitch in order to be a high round pick out of high school. There are too many guys throwing 90+ in college, junior college, etc (which are safer picks).
Bauserman committed but it was always contigent on his draft position (right?). So there isn't anything stopping him from making a decision.
Maybe Coach Todd will let him play?
